Get back old Facebook Chat Easily and get rid of New annoying Sidebar Chat

Change isn’t always improvement and New Features aren’t always welcomed by users. Same is the story with New Facebook Sidebar Chat. Users haven’t liked it much for a simple reason that it’s messy. It’s a free service and you don’t have an option to switch to good old Facebook Chat officially. So, here’s how can you get rid of new Facebook Sidebar chat and get back to old Facebook Chat.

Disliking of people is obvious owing to following reasons: Doesn’t have Scroll bar to see all friends who are online at the moment. I agree there is a Search box to find friend to chat with but it isn’t always the case. Sometimes, you decide whom to chat with according to choice of availability of persons.Unnecessarily, Offline Users are shown on top instead of Online.

However, it is possible to get back old facebook chat using userscript which we have used in most browser hacks to customize the webpage and present in different way than original.

Installing the script in Google Chrome

Installing ‘Facebook-Chat-enhancer’ script is as easy as installing chrome extensions. Visit this page and click on green button saying 'Install' and restart your browser after installing.

Installing the script in Mozilla Firefox

In Firefox, you need to install Grease Monkey Add-on before installing the ‘Facebook-Chat-enhancer’ script. Install Grease Monkey Add-on here and when done, install
 this script to get back old Facebook chat. Restart your browser and you’re done!!

Note: This Hack doesn’t activate Old Facebook Chat for your Account but only when you access Facebook from the browser where script is installed.
